When developing a web application with ReactJS it is often a good idea to use it in combination with the Redux architecture. This gives us good and precise control about the application state and all actions that change the state. All view changes must be executed as actions on the redux store and thus the central application state. When dealing with a RESTful backend we have to cope with asynchronous requests and thus have to deal with long running requests, error responses, missing data. Furthermore when the backend uses HATEOAS we have to deal with getting and managing the necessary request links.
